Hi!

I'd like to know some personal preferences in making Gum Dichromate
prints. I know understand the chemistry, but when working on a 8x10
monochrome print, how muck gum/pigment is required? I don't want to make
more than I need. Also How much Dichromate solution. I'd probably make
up 5 or 6 sheets. Can the prepared paper be stored? and how long before
exposed?

I have some .5oz plastic containers, would this be good for the
pigmented gum?

Thanks!!!
